How do we put on this garment? How do we keep it on, and just as important, how do we keep it clean? What is the outer darkness, the weeping and gnashing of teeth? What is repentance, and how is it related to the wedding garment? Were we made to fear Hell, or long for heaven? How *does* one *long* for heaven? Matthew 22:1-14<div class="feedflare">

Seraphim Holland and Ancient Faith RadioChristianity is to live in a moral way. It is not dogmas or principles in the abstract. It is very practical. We talk about do's and don’ts, legalism, grace and mercy, and making ourselves vessels of grace, and a line by line exegesis of Paul's "do's". Since this is during the 40 days for my son +Daniel (http://www.orthodox.net/daniel), there are also very personal examples of how God visits with grace, but we must react to this grace.

He did not waste time; we waste so much time. The Epistle says: "that now it is high time to awake out of sleep: for now is our salvation nearer than when we believed." We must have purpose and resolve or we are nothing. Since this feast occurs within the 40 days for my son +Daniel, I see all things in relation to him, and a great blessing of his passing is that we have reports that many have awoken out of sleep. Let us talk about purpose, and asceticism and personal change. A son's death is an expensive price, but the gifts given are very dear. Romans 13:11-14:4<div class="feedflare">

In proving their similarity, we discuss the sin of "stony insensibility," and that we MUST suffer if we are to be true Christians (and what this suffering ALWAYS must entail, regardless of whether we suffer in any "physical" or other ways, such as the martyrs, St. Mary and St. Nectarios did). We also discuss humility, and being a servant, as illustrated in the amazing life of St. Nectarios, and the comparison of St. Mary with the woman "who was a sinner," who truly loved our Lord. The crux of the similarity between these two saints, and all who love God is the enigmatic saying of our Lord: "Her sins, which are many, are forgiven; for she loved much: but to whom little is forgiven, the same loveth little."

These words presuppose that we know our purpose, and have made a free decision to order our life in a certain way. In this world, such a decision is rare. Those who make this decision (and only those) understand the following life-giving command: "let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me." Such a person understands what "denial" is. The world does not understand. Worldly Christians do not understand. Only a Christian who has decided to follow Christ, and continues to "decide" understands this "denial." It is recognizing what is bad, and not doing it, and the taking up of the Cross is obedience to the commandments, with all of one's strength. Mark 8:34-9:1<div class="feedflare">

Seraphim Holland and Ancient Faith RadioOn the Sunday of the Adoration of the Precious Cross, we hear the words: "Whosoever will come after me..." These words presuppose that we know our purpose, and have made a free decision to order our life in a certain way. In this world, such a decision is rare. Those who make this decision (and only those) understand the following life-giving command: "let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me." Such a person understands what "denial" is. The world does not understand. Worldly Christians do not understand. Only a Christian who has decided to follow Christ, and continues to "decide" understands this "denial."

An exposition of the Gospel read on Theophany, Matthew 3:13-17. The baptism of John contrasted with Christian baptism. The difference between the baptism of Christ and all the others John baptized. What did Jesus mean when he said, "Suffer it to be so now: for thus it becometh us to fulfill all righteousness"? Our baptism requires many things from us. It makes us capable of all of these things. An important segue about the weakness of our age and struggle in the Christian life, and that struggle and success are not synonymous, and that we must be kind and never give up, or we will not be saved, no matter what other virtues we may have.homilies,sermons,texas,orthodox,christian,churchhttp://www.ancientfaith.com/podcasts/redeemingtime/gregory_palamas#31297http://audio.ancientfaith.com/redeemingtime/rtt_2017-01-20.mp3Mon, 16 Jan 2017 17:42:00 +00002017-01-16T17:42:00+00:00Purpose of Baptismhttp://www.ancientfaith.com/podcasts/redeemingtime/purpose_of_baptism1#31246Purpose of Baptism: Searching for the image which had been buried by sin and the passions and restoring it and adorning it.
Exegesis of a verse in the Canon for the Forefeast of Theophany. "Thou didst light Thy precious flesh like a lamp in the midst of the Jordan, O Christ, and didst search for Thine image which had been buried by sin and the passions; and finding it, Thou didst adorn it with Thy baptism, O Good One. Wherefore, we hymn Thee." (Ode 7) As we leisurely explain this hymn, we touch on the personality of the Gospel of Mark, a definition of the Gospel, the purpose of baptism, some of the scriptural allusions in this hymn, and - how do we apply it all?<div class="feedflare">

Seraphim Holland and Ancient Faith RadioA serendipitous combination (not!) of the Epistle for the Sunday before the Exaltation of the Cross, and the Epistle read on the 14th Sunday after Pentecost. We define the "earnest of the Holy Spirit." This experience of God cannot be obtained unless we live according to the words of the apostle: "God forbid that I should glory, save in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom the world is crucified unto me, and I unto the world." Just 6 minutes, but very important. 2 Corinthians 1:22 : Galatians 6:14homilies,sermons,texas,orthodox,christian,churchhttp://www.ancientfaith.com/podcasts/redeemingtime/glory_in_the_cross#30063http://audio.ancientfaith.com/redeemingtime/rtt_2016-09-27.mp3Mon, 26 Sep 2016 19:17:00 +00002016-09-26T19:17:00+00:00Our belief in Christ is not cheaphttp://www.ancientfaith.com/podcasts/redeemingtime/our_belief_in_christ_is_not_cheap#30050Sunday before the Exaltation of the Holy Cross. First a quick summary about the Parable to the Wedding Feast, so that we can discuss the concept of the wedding garment in the context of the pre-festal scripture read: "For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision availeth anything, nor uncircumcision, but a new creature" and "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." This latter scripture, so well known, but not well understood, tells us that salvation is through belief in Christ. If we understand what a "new creature" is, and the implications regarding our wedding garment, we will understand what "belief" in Christ. Our belief is not cheap, or malleable to whatever whim and fashion of the day holds sway, as in our day. It is wholly a product of us becoming new creatures and glorying in the cross. Matthew 22:1-14, Galatians 6:15, John 3:13-17.<div class="feedflare">

Most people at least acknowledge that we must forgive to be saved, but the hymns of today teach another truth -- you will forgive if you are being saved. Today we lament about the greatest catastrophe in creation -- the fall of mankind in paradise -- and we enter into a period when we lament the loss of paradise and seek after it. Let us look at some of the hymns from the Triodion from this day, and the exciting call of the Apostle Paul to action: "Now it is high time to awake out of sleep: for now is our salvation nearer than when we believed" and "put ye on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make not provision for the flesh." All these things teach us what our goal should be in great Lent and that we can reach it -- to regain some of paradise. Romans 13:11-14:4<div class="feedflare">

Of course the immediately apparent teaching of this Gospel is that there will be a judgment and we will be judged if we are not compassionate.

Incarnation explained and applied. “COMPEL them to come in”http://www.ancientfaith.com/podcasts/redeemingtime/parable_of_the_great_supper._incarnation_explained_and_applied._compel_them#27424The Parable of the Great supper is always read two Sundays before Nativity because it is about the Incarnation. We describe its main parts, before we get to the most important part. It describes in a poetic way the Incarnation, the rejection of the Messiah by the Jews, and the calling of the Gentiles. This is all important to know, but it is background for the critical moral teaching that all Christians must understand and do. There are two important phrases that we go over in great detail: "And they *ALL* with one consent began to make excuse...". This describes the propensity for human nature to fall away from God. What will check our fall? The parable answers in a mystical way: "Go out into the highways and hedges, and compel them to come in...". This word "compel" has an immediate meaning in the parable of urgency, but its spiritual meaning is more profound and unspeakably beautiful. The Christian who tastes of God is COMPELLED, not from the outside by any external law or force, but internally, in his own heart, to follow God. This is not the giving up of free will, or as Calvin misunderstands, God overriding our free will, but it is the marvelous transformation of the soul into a creature that becomes incapable of sin, and only capable of righteousness.<div class="feedflare">

The dots we connect are summed up by the following snippets from this Gospel: "Thou shalt love the Lord thy God ... this do, and thou shalt live," "Who is my neighbor?," "And by chance there came down...," “But a certain Samaritan, as he journeyed, came where he was...," and “Take care of him!"

What am I thankful for? Among many verses of Scripture, this one is apropos: "A man shall draw near, and the heart is deep" (Psalm 63:6). Our heart was made by God to be deep enough to contain Him. The temporal time we spend on earth fills this heart, as there are good times and bad times, but always with God. This I am thankful for. On this day we are celebrating St. John Chrysostom, who famously, as he was dying, said "Glory to God for all things." I, in a poor way, unlike him, am thankful for all these things. Two of them are described in the reading appointed for him, from John, about the Shepherd. One part says that his sheep go in and out, and find pasture. This is the total freedom of being in God. We do not have this freedom yet, but we are attaining it. As we attain it, we are shepherds, no matter if we are priests, or bishops, or lay people, because our Lord is a Shepherd, and we are becoming like Him. Therefore, I am thankful for the hard things, the losses, the grief and toil, in which, in a little way, I have been like a Shepherd. This is the great privilege of man. We have a deep heart, able to contain the uncontainable God, and we are able to learn to be like Him, and know Him and have union with Him.<div class="feedflare">

Seraphim Holland and Ancient Faith RadioThe Parable of the Sower is not just a story. It is a command; it teaches us how to live. We go over some of the "circled words" at the end of the parable, "good ground," and "an honest and good heart," and "bring forth fruit with patience." They all teach us the way of life. We especially describe two kinds of patience. One is a wonderful personality trait to possess, but is not salvific, in and of itself, The other is absolutely necessary for salvation; without this kind of patience, no person can be saved. We also talk about ways to cultivate this kind of patience from personal pastoral experience.homilies,sermons,texas,orthodox,christian,churchhttp://www.ancientfaith.com/podcasts/redeemingtime/the_good_ground_..._bring_forth_fruit_with_patience#26719http://audio.ancientfaith.com/redeemingtime/rtt_2015-11-02.mp3Mon, 26 Oct 2015 23:09:00 +00002015-10-26T23:09:00+00:00Only Jesus has the authority to say “weep not.” Raising of the son of the Widow of Nain.http://www.ancientfaith.com/podcasts/redeemingtime/only_jesus_has_the_authority_to_say_weep_not._raising_of_the_son_of_the_wid#26637In the raising of the son of the Widow of Nain, two words stand out: "weep not."

We have just finished reading the selection from the Gospel of Luke, about Mary going into the hill country and greeting Elizabeth, 14 days in a row, since it is part of the Paraclesis service (service of supplication, when the supplicatory canon to the Theotokos is swung in sweet melody; we serve it every day during the Dormition fast). We also read it during matins for the feast, as we do for all the feasts of the Mother of God. It tells us of a holy moment, which should be our ultimate goal.

Nowadays, a priest must also be a prophet as were the Apostles, and encourage his people to pursue purity in their lives and to expect and be prepared for "heaviness through manifold temptations."homilies,sermons,texas,orthodox,christian,churchhttp://www.ancientfaith.com/podcasts/redeemingtime/a_lively_hope_the_unequivocal_moral_teaching_of_the_apostle_peter#25559http://audio.ancientfaith.com/redeemingtime/rtt_2015-07-13.mp3Mon, 06 Jul 2015 13:41:00 +00002015-07-06T13:41:00+00:00The word is nigh thee, even in thy mouth, and in thy hearthttp://www.ancientfaith.com/podcasts/redeemingtime/the_word_is_nigh_thee_even_in_thy_mouth_and_in_thy_heart#25476In our age when Christian words are redefined by society to have other meanings, we must continually understand our purpose, and direct our life to fulfill the words of Paul: "The righteousness which is of faith speaketh on this wise: The word is nigh thee, even in thy mouth, and in thy heart."

Here are the things about St. John that have touched a particular sinner and priest, who began his ministry in Texas 21 years ago on the day of the glorification of St. John, July 3, 1994. St. John always prayed and never "prepared" for prayer. He prayed for everyone he ministered to, often late into the night as they slept. St. John loved the Liturgy and served it every day. He derived great power from this. St John was bold, in ways that we who pray little and sleep much cannot understand. One example is the famous story about him trading vodka for an orphan who otherwise would have been sold into slavery, in the slums of Shanghai.<div class="feedflare">

A discussion about fear, the typical fear people have, and the fear of the Myrhhbearing women as they fled the sepulchre, and the fear of God.

We must understand, because the same thing happens to us. The solution to our ignorance is shown brilliantly, by their question after the Lord broke bread in their presence: "Did not our heart burn within us, while he talked with us by the way, and while he opened to us the scriptures?" A Christian must have a heart that burns. We explain what this means and how to cultivate such a heart.

We must give our blood, so that we are not guilty of the accusation: "Ye have not yet resisted unto blood, striving against sin." What does this implicit command mean? It is not just about martyrs who are killed for Christ; it is a command we must understand and follow. Hebrews 12:1-10<div class="feedflare">

It tells us what to do, but much more importantly, it tells us how to do it. The process of repentance involves things gradual and things that are sudden, and sometimes even instantaneous. We can learn from the important words Luke uses regarding Zacchaeus: that he was LITTLE and that he RAN and CLIMBED, and that the Lord told him to MAKE HASTE, and that he promised that he would give all his wealth away.

Seraphim Holland and Ancient Faith RadioThe story of Zacchaeus is "Repentance 101" for Christians. It tells us what to do, but much more importantly, it tells us how to do it. The process of repentance involves things gradual and things that are sudden, and sometimes even instantaneous. We can learn from the important words Luke uses regarding Zacchaeus: that he was LITTLE and that he RAN and CLIMBED, and that the Lord told him to MAKE HASTE, and that he promised that he would give all his wealth away.

Seraphim's recent trip to a prison with four volunteers, during which he baptized two men. Included is a description of a typical day in prison ministry and advice about who is qualified (and not qualified) for prison ministry. If you have fire in your belly, and you are adaptable to change, you are perfectly suited to prison ministry. If you are OCD, or like the expected to happen, you are not suited for prison ministry. Fr. Seraphim also uses the report as an opportunity to think about Romans 6 and about being baptized into Christ's death. Included, too, is an explanation about the oil of gladness, and chrism, and the laying on of hands, and why we blow over the oil and anoint certain parts of the body.<div class="feedflare">

Because of the Nativity, we can become saints. We need faith to be saints, and indeed, to live the Christian life even a tiny bit.

We have an example here of both things: sandwiched around the request of the Apostles is His teaching on forgiveness, and humility. We have the answer! This is how to increase our faith! We must "take heed to ourselves" and forgive, and learn to fight the popular disease of our society—entitlement, and learn to act as servants. The goal is straightforward, but because of our passions, the path we must take to fulfill it is not. We discuss some of the curves in this path.<div class="feedflare">

The woman with the infirmity of 18 years could not look up—she was earthbound because of sin. So are we. We must feel our infirmity and desire to stand up straight! Unfortunately, many people do not feel their infirmity, and therefore do not expect to be loosed from it. We must cultivate this feeling. The aftermath of the healing of this woman shows us the major sin which keeps us from knowing our infirmity and seeking the healing of God—unkindness. The ruler of the synagogue knew all the commandments save the most important two, and the second will especially save us. If we cannot stop sinning, we must at least be kind, and God will loose us from our infirmities.<div class="feedflare">

If we are not demon-possessed (God forbid!), how does the expulsion of a legion of demons from a possessed man apply to us? If we read the scripture with desire and compunction, the answer is clear. We have a legion of passions, and we are (should be) striving to be rid of all of them, so that we can be in our "right mind." The bad news is that man can be so tormented by his passions, and that even when healing occurs, it is not recognized, because of spiritual blindness.

We must learn to think eternally, and spiritually, and then we will understand about temporary good things in this life, and permanent good things in the next. we also talk about the epistle read for St Artemius today, which ties in very well: "Thou therefore endure hardness, as a good soldier of Jesus Christ.

The purpose of Christianity is fulfilled only by bearing fruit. This parable describes 4 kinds of ground, that is, souls, and only one kind bears fruit and is saved. We look quickly at the 3 kinds of ground that are not saved, especially focusing on the words that should be emphasized, such as "cares and riches and pleasures". The description of the good ground is the most important part of the parable, and we look at the critical words "honest and good heart." This parable refutes the heresy of "faith without works", but more importantly, teaches us what we must do to prepare our ground to receive the seed and be filled with God. the parable does not tell us that we must stop sinning to be saved, but must have an honest and good heart. This is good news for those who desire to be saved!<div class="feedflare">

Seraphim Holland and Ancient Faith Radio)noThe Parable of the Sower and the Seed is one of the few parables explained by Christ, but still needs to be talked about because many have no idea what this parable means, nor its explanation. The purpose of Christianity is fulfilled only by bearing fruitFr. Seraphim Holland and Ancient Faith RadioThe Parable of the Sower and the Seed is one of the few parables explained by Christ, but still needs to be talked about because many have no idea what this parable means, nor its explanation. The purpose of Christianity is fulfilled only by bearing fruit. This parable describes 4 kinds of ground, that is, souls, and only one kind bears fruit and is saved. We look quickly at the 3 kinds of ground that are not saved, especially focusing on the words that should be emphasized, such as "cares and riches and pleasures". The description of the good ground is the most important part of the parable, and we look at the critical words "honest and good heart."

It is not accidental that two crowds of people met and that Jesus alone noticed the grieving widow. Jesus showed love that was overflowing from within Him—the love of God. Most people are suffering, and we must become aware of them if we are to understand God when He communicates with us. Jesus communicated with the widow in three distinct ways, as he does with all of us. We must understand His methods if we are to understand Him. This healing is advanced instruction in how to love, how to pray, and how to hear God answer us.<div class="feedflare">
